What about simply ignoring Eric's latest pull request and have your 
'devel-stable' be merged by Linus as is?  Surely the earlier branch you 
merged from Eric wasn't that bad anyway, and Eric can certainly provide 
new commits on top later on to fix possible issues with that in order to 
bring his stuff to the same state as what he just asked you to pull.
